Stash Busting: Finished Blanket !

Hello all !!

How are you all doing ?

I'm happy to finally have finished my daughter's blanket, which I started back in . . . October.
October ?? Yes. It took me about 10 months to finish it.

I have enjoyed making it so much, all the colour changing, the yarn I have used is so nice to work with.
It is 50% Acrylic 50% wool and the colours. . . I love the colours, so cheerful !! Well, I think so.

And what I love about it all is that I still have yarn left so I will be thinking of making something with it.

For the border of this blanket I tried several options, I undid some rounds, etc and in the end I went for this simple border as I thought there is already a lot going on in the blanket so for much that I love lacy borders it did not look right on this one, too busy !

Border is number 81 of Around the Corner, Crochet Borders by Edie Eckman.

And I was able to fix that little 'problem' I mentioned in my last post, and actually it turned out straight forward to fix and easy. The yarn in the centre round had got loose and so I pull it and knotted it back and secured it well.

And now I leave you with some pictures from the main square (Plaza de Cervantes) of the town where I live, Alcala de Henares. I love this place and the old centre of the town is World Heritage Town by UNESCO and the birthplace of Cervantes.

It is so gorgeous!!!! And it looks so pretty in your pretty chair with the pillow. I am so happy for you that you made such a beautiful blanket. And the pictures of the square are so lovely. I always enjoy the pictures of where you live and visit. I should do the same on my blog.
